Prophecy Continous: On 'Musleh Ma'ud'

 

The Messiah’s Promised Son

 

We express our gratitude to Allah, Who, through His boundless mercy, has always sent guidance in the form of His Books, His laws, and His prophets, messengers, revivers of faith, and reformers of His religion. When we reflect on the countless blessings Allah has bestowed upon humanity, we realise that we could never fully thank Him for all of them.

 

When we study the Holy Quran, we find that Allah has honoured the Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) with an exceptional distinction: Allah Himself established Islam as His perfect religion and named it Islam. Within Islam, unlike the nations of the past where Allah’s messengers and prophets were sent only to their respective peoples, we see that for Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) and all his spiritual progeny, this favour continues until the Day of Judgement. Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) and his spiritual descendants, the prophets of Allah from his Ummah, were sent not only for the people among whom he was born but for all of humanity.

After Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), Allah blessed his Ummah and all of humanity with the advent of  Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian, a small and remote village in India. He came as a prophet-reformer, which means that he and all those who came after Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh)—like this humble servant standing before you – cannot bring new divine laws. We receive divine revelations containing Allah’s instructions, yes, but these are not revelations that form a new sacred book like the Quran. The Holy Quran remains the final book of divine law, and all prophet-reformers of Islam are sent whenever people deviate from the teachings of Islam. Allah sends messengers and prophets like Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) and me to correct these errors and guide people back to the right path. The Quran remains the Quran, the perfect word of Allah, and the divine revelations granted to us, the followers of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), who have been favoured by Allah to become prophet-reformers, are revelations meant to guide people in our respective eras and to support and direct them towards the teachings of the Holy Quran.

Our Islamic Faith- 4

  

Ashhadu alla ilaha illallahu 

wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 

‘abduhu wa rasuluh.

 

I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, 

and I bear witness that Muhammad (pbuh) is His servant and Messenger.

 

When we reflect upon the Deen of Allah [Islam], we realise that Allah has entrusted us, and even commanded us, to believe in everything He, our Creator, has instructed us to believe in. When He created us, He provided us with a place to reside. In this temporary world, He spread out the earth and placed within it an abundance of sustenance for our survival. He designed the skies as a canopy above us, serving as both protection and a source of water to quench our thirst, keeping both us and our environment clean. 

Thus, we recognise that Allah is immensely generous towards humanity. He tests us through various trials. There are periods of drought as well as times of overwhelming rainfall, where the sheer volume of rain can wreak havoc everywhere. We see this exemplified in the great flood during the time of Hazrat Nuh (as), when the entire land (of his nation) was submerged. Hence, a creation of Allah can be a blessing, but it may also act as a tool through which Allah imparts lessons to humanity.

Follow 'Sunnah', Avoid 'Shirk'

 

Ashhadu alla ilaha illallahu wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluh.

I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (pbuh) is His servant and Messenger. 

In our proclamation of faith, as Allah says in Surah Al-Baqara, Chapter 2, Verse 286: “The Messenger believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. All of them have faith in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. [And they say] ‘We make no distinction between any of His Messengers.’ And they also say: ‘We hear and we obey. Forgive us, our Lord, for to You is the final return.’”

 

When a Messenger of Allah comes, especially a Messenger and Prophet who comes after the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), his role is to hold firmly to the Quran and ensures that he guides people to the commandments of this best Book. The Quran is special because it represents the total sum of laws that Allah has ordained for humanity. It is not applicable only to a particular era but applies at all times, as long as there are people on earth. People have been given a perfect guide in the person of Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh), whom Allah made a representation of the Quran on earth.

Ashhadu alla ilaha illallahu wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluh.

 

I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (pbuh) is His servant and Messenger.

 

Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah, I continue on the same subject of faith, my faith, and what Allah has commanded us, Muslims and humanity, to believe.

 

As I mentioned last week, Allah created Jinns and humans to worship Him alone, without associating any other deities with Him in His worship.

 

While the Jinns are responsible for their own actions, we, humanity, are also responsible for our own actions. Therefore, Allah created humans and the universe with a purpose. The purpose of human creation is that within the limits of their capacities, they manifest the divine attributes within themselves. To achieve this objective, Allah has given humans the appropriate faculties and capacities and has placed the universe at their service. But that’s not all! It is essential for humans to follow the laws set by Allah so that they receive the necessary guidance to stay on the right path. How does Allah ensure that humans receive His guidance? It is through His prophets and Messengers.
